#This makes the argument of why Hilson is such a good ship

[pigeonmilk-216]

So I’m entering the Huddy section of my House MD rewatch and something I have always thought stuck me yet again. They could have never worked out.

House, as much of a genius he is, is an emotionally distant eight year old and the only hope he has at a relationship is with someone who is willing to sit on the floor and play trains with him . (This might make sense later, bear with me)

And Cuddy wants support from her relationship, someone who to be there for her the same way she’s there for them. And for her, this is an expectation, not a goal in her relationship.

Cuddy can’t sit with House, she has her own kids, the hospital and in later seasons, Rachel. Her two kids that she will put above a lot

In S1, Cuddy goes full “mom mode” when the maternity ward has an epidemic. Cutting ties, ordering tests, cutting into differentials, etc etc. And this is reinforced in the beginning of S7, when House spends an entire episode keeping Cuddy away from the hospital to spend time with him and relax, not worrying about the crisis happening at the hospital.

And when it comes to Rachel, I think, had they stayed together, House would have been a good dad, but it would have taken a bit and some growth from him. Which would only happen if someone sat down and played trains with him, and he didn’t have to change for a relationship but also be comfortable enough in that relationship to be vulnerable. Which, Cuddy wouldn’t have the time to establish bc a) she wants a man with that skill set and b) quite frankly doesn’t have the time between her two kids.

And ofc there’s there the whole “boss employee thing” but, eh. And beyond that though, Cuddy, even if this was fanfic and I could change the laws that said Cuddy wasn’t an administrator with a mountain of duties, or had a literal child, Cuddy could never change to be what would be required to have a “stable” relationship with House. And neither could House change for Cuddy. They have different needs than what the other could give.

#This isn’t to say I dislike Huddy #I think it a fine ship #HOWEVER #This makes the argument of why Hilson is such a good ship #Wilson already plays trains with House and did so for 20 years #And House WAS comfortable in that relationship #more so than he ever was for Cuddy #Bc really there weren’t expectations in the same way #And I still think House would’ve been such a sap for his kids #house md #greg house #james wilson #lisa cuddy
